A pan-tilt platform is a mechanism used to move a camera, sensor, or other devices in two axes: horizontal (pan) and vertical (tilt). These platforms are often powered by servo motors, which allow for precise control over movement. They're popular in robotics, camera stabilization, and security systems. With an Arduino Nano, everyone can experiment with controlling these movements and integrate them into larger projects.
A tilt sensor is a type of sensor that can detect the orientation or tilt of an object relative to the force of gravity. It works by measuring the change in angle of the object with respect to the vertical axis.
Tilt sensors can be found in various forms, such as simple mechanical switches, mercury switches, and electronic sensors. They are commonly used in applications that require the detection of tilting or changes in orientation, such as in construction equipment, automotive safety systems, robotics, and gaming controllers.
